The dining table today, because it is World Postcard Day! I send a few Postcrossing cards to India, the USA, Russia and Germany and cards to friends and my niece. But the day isn't over yet! So I will write a few more and post them tomorrow...

Also, I recently found out that you can follow Postcrossing in the Fediverse!: @postcrossing@mastodon.social

A table full of postcards with a cup of tea in the middle. The postcards are all very different. Some show paintings or illustrations, photos of old manuscripts, mushrooms and a black photo of a beach.

A white hand holding up a hand of postcards outside in a garden. There is yellow Miffy card, an illustration of a starry night, a famous painting of a cliff by Monet and a painting of ducks, a heron and other birds in a shallow river. The other cards are mostly hidden behind the others.

You’re not imagining it—life is more overwhelming than it used to be.

Thirty years ago, we weren’t expected to be on 24/7.
Now, everything—news, work, education, friendship—flows through endless digital networks.

We scroll, refresh, reply, react.
There’s no pause. No buffer. No off-switch.

This is the Network Society.
Power no longer moves top-down—it moves through likes, clicks, and notifications.
Your attention is the commodity. Your nervous system is the casualty.

We weren’t built for this.
We evolved for rhythm, rest, and relationship—not for a life spent staring into the infinite scroll.

If you’re feeling scattered, anxious, or emotionally fried—you’re not broken.
You’re living in a system that rewards saturation over sanity.

Maybe the first step is naming it.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s digital trauma.
